Fernando Cristóbal de Reyes y Ávila is his full name according to LTORI wiki, I guess they took that from the book, This is correct, as far as I can remember. As I understand this, Mr Ávila has a double surname, de Reyes y Ávila . Does that say anything about Mr Ávila's origins? Do Latin Americans ...

Fernando Cristóbal de Reyes y Ávila is his full name according to LTORI wiki, I guess they took that from the book, I can't remerber much about him. Maybe he is just an immigrant figure, someone that JAL met sometimes in his life. Perhaps he traveled many times to Spain for vacations. I don't how co...

But Eli does take a shower, i think twice, after Oskar complains about his smell,he was taking a shower too in that scene were he is standing naked before Hakan. In the english translation Elis says "I took a shower" In the spanish trasnlation he says "I've washed" (me he lavado) And the other scene...

Like many said is a hommage to Carmilla. But, a re-interpretation, or re-imagination of that scene for those disliking it, could be that Eli was taking a bath/resting, in water, what Lacke sees then is the water mixed with blood. Although this scene is after the basement econture so Eli isn't actual...

I just watched both movies, again, yesterday, and the book is still fresh in my mind.. -Even though both characters are somehow the same (I think TA actually play with the cycle Idea) Hakan looks much more a pedo than Jenkins in LMI, also he looks till the end a loyal servant to Eli, while Jenkins l...

You guys made a point. I forgot also about the sunlight, and the whole "letting in" regarded to the story. Nevertheless, Eli isolation-lonliness is also product of her un-human condition, and as a "lost soul" concept is also associated to a spectre-ghost-like, and her interaction with disturbed peop...

Im more interested in a prequel than a sequel. Hakan + Eli backstory, the first murders.. Eli in a different time with a different helper.. The man in the wig's + human Eli story.. Etc Or expanding the universe of the novel itself, f.e. short stories about Oskar and Eli's "adventures" that were omit...
